Description

XRXplorerschool presents a general overview over use cases for Minetest, an open source version of Minecraft. They suggest to:

• build an ideal and a bad environment around rivers to present (geology)
• construct historical buildings with recognizable architectonic styles (Renaissance, Classicism, Neogothic)
• build a church, a synagogue and a mosque (religion)
• build a city of the future (social sciences, ethics, economics)

Minetest itself does not support VR, but the built world can then be exported to Mozilla Hubs to prepare the finished project for presentation (instructions in the .pdf below (German)).

Ideas and other use cases

Minetest has many mods that could be useful for educational projects. See also the Minetest page in this wiki.
